paul3vanz Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I don't know whether this is happening to anyone else, but every link on Google Search results warns that it may 'harm my computer'. Here's what I get:(Note: I couldn't resist by searching for this hehe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 You also have a strange green star and check symbol to the right of the links. What web browser are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sl@y3D for my n@me Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 You also have a strange green star and check symbol to the right of the links. What web browser are you using?What you see there is AVG. The browser is quite irrelevant, I have checked it and I see the same message, and I have asked multiple people, all with different browsers and configurations. Google really is broken. The most amusing is typing "Google" into Google. But then again, as the IT crowd teaches us, typing Google into Google will break the internet.

paul3vanz Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 It's Internet Explorer 7, the green star/tick is AVG Antivirus Free. It supposedly reports bad sites. Google is now working alright for me. Bizarre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netman66 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) I don't see this behaviour here in Canada.The green stars are placed there by AVG Antivirus. Edited January 31, 2009 by Netman66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul3vanz Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Seems like it did affect everyone lol:http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.pht...g-malware.phtmlhttp://www.making-the-web.com/2009/01/31/g...stops-searches/It's fixed now and only lasted for around half an hour, which explains why it did it on my laptop but not my main computer, i must have noticed on my laptop a few minutes before they fixed the bug and checked my main computer after they fixed it.It's quite scary to think that Google can stop working. How on earth will I find the answer to the most trivial rubbish that pops into my head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
